/**
 * A simple cross-isolate synchronization mechanism.
 * Handles the simple case of synchronizing between two
 * isolates, performing "master" and "slave" roles.
 * This is useful for cross-isolate unit testing.
 * This is a utility class, containing only static methods.
 * No instances of this class are ever created.
 * 
 * <p>This class must be initialized once (presumably the by master),
 * by calling init(), before starting the slave isolate.  The master isolate 
 * can call awaitReady() to wait for the slave isolate to become ready.
 * The slave isolate performs whatever initialization and testing it wants and 
 * then calls pause().  This blocks the slave and
 * unblocks the master's call to awaitReady(), giving the master the 
 * opportunity to inspect the slave's state.  The master can then call 
 * signalContinue() to unblock the slave.  Finally, the fini() call will 
 * destroy the shared objects created by init().
 *
 * <p>Example code for master isolate:
 * <pre>
 * void testAnotherIsolate() {
 *     IsolateSynch.init();
 *     Isolate iso = new Isolate(start_class, args);
 *     iso.start();
 *     IsolateSynch.awaitReady();
 *     // assertions can be made safely here about the state of the slave
 *     IsolateSynch.signalContinue();
 *     IsolateSynch.fini();
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p>Example code for slave isolate:
 * <pre>
 * public static void main(Strings args[]) {
 *     // perform initialization and execute code under test
 *     IsolateSynch.pause();
 *     // perform any cleanup here
 * }
 * </pre>
